Plaish, Church Stretton, Shropshire

Believed to date back to the 1600s, with some later additions, Holt Preen Manor is a striking house nestled amongst the beautiful Shropshire Hills.
The house exhibits stunning original features, such as exposed wall and ceiling beams, floorboards and fireplaces. With all rooms offering good proportions, the accommodation flows well from the front entrance hall and into the sitting/dining room, which has an impressive inglenook fireplace fitted with a log burning stove. Adjacent is the drawing room, again being fitted with a stove and having a dual aspect.
The kitchen has a four oven Aga and ample space for informal dining. A useful study, utility and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
Stairs rise either from the drawing room or the sitting/dining room to the first floor, where there are three good sized double bedrooms, together with a bathroom.
Stairs rise again to the second floor, where there is a large landing area leading onto two attic rooms, offering potential for conversion into further accommodation if required.
Whilst not a necessity, the house would benefit from some modernisation to make the most out of the impressive and historic building.
